Holy Cross Problems

Element-ary History: Mercury By: Ian Korapatti Mercury was found in Egyptian tombs dating all the way back to 1500 B.C. We do not know who found it, but mercury was known by the Chinese, Egyptians and the Hindus.  Mercury is a highly toxic element and will kill any human who consume it and who inhale it.
